KIA Rio5 an Excellent & Fun Value
rfbronk1, Ithaca, NY, 11/23/2011
2012 Kia Rio LX 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl 6A)
Our 2012 KIA Rio5 is our second car. For around
town use it is terrific - we get an overall 35 mpg. The five door is very usefu and the comfort is just fine. The styling is fine and the car really is fun to drive. We have a family car that is for trips but the Rio 5 is for everyday use. We could not find another vehicle for less money with a better warantry. The build quality is nice and … the red paint is beautiful - the cloth interior is nice - this is just the perfect second car for us.
carbon built up will catch a fire

2012 Kia Rio LX 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl 6A)
if 87000 kia forte recalled due to fire hazard, what do you think, how many rios are affected? none? if carbon deposits are build up, pressure and temperature rises, and if lucky, a fuse will blow and a car will not operate and a dealership will tell you: no problem found; if not so lucky, you'll car will burn, like forte and then they will make up some wiring fault, ...these cars are … good with low miles, but when you put enough miles, sooner or later, due to carbon deposits, they will loose power, acceleration, start to leak, and so on - and the manufacturer are simply ignoring the problem or covering with something else
